Tri-Tip Nacho Lunch

We went out for a family hike and came back hungry. I made a full tri-tip dinner last night so had leftover SRF Black tri-tip and pinquito beans. This set the stage for a nice tri-tip nacho lunch.



La Rosa totopos (chips), diced tri-tip, monterey jack cheese, pinquito beans, and a generous pour of Valentina's hot sauce.



Diced roma tomato, scallion, and avocado for toppings. I find that a meat heavy nacho needs these type of vegetable toppings to balance it out.



FedEx guy showed up with my Rockwood three-pack while the nachos were in the oven. Inventory is back up to four bags, a safe level.



Here's what they look like after 20 minutes or so at 400F.



My finished plate. The tri-tip was so good.

    Good looking for sure and I often repurpose leftover trip tip like this or for a quick fajita.   

    I like refried beans on mine to help the ingredients stick to the chips.   We have a brand of refried beans here that has chorizo in it.   Adds an extra little something.  

    Agree with the veggie component!

    I've been on a super bean kick lately. Hardly a week goes by where I don't make a pound of pinto, black, or pinquito beans. I'm also into refried beans and agree with their adhesive quality. 

    This meal was under time pressure and one family member refuses to eat "smooshed beans."

    I'm all for tips on beans, refried or otherwise as this is a new endeavor for me and I'm still learning. 

    For pinquto beans, I've settled on dried beans from Ranch Gordo and the seasoning from Susie Q. My steps are to saute garlic and onion in olive oil, add in the beans, seasoning, cook in chicken broth, boil for 15 minutes, reduce to a low simmer until tender.

    Just repurposed some Tri tip for quesadillas.   Didn’t take pics, just generic version with guacamole.
